Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If at any time after five years after determining a person incompetent to stand trial when charged with a felony or one year when charged with a misdemeanor, the court, after hearing, determines that the defendant remains incompetent to stand trial, that there is no substantial probability that the defendant will become mentally competent to stand trial in the foreseeable future and that the defendant does meet the criteria for involuntary hospitalization set forth by law, the court shall dismiss the charges against the defendant and commit the defendant to the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services for involuntary hospitalization or residential services solely under the provisions of law, or may order that he receive outpatient treatment at any other facility or service on an outpatient basis subject to the provisions of those statutes. In the order of commitment, the judge shall order that the administrator of the facility notify the State Attorney of the committing circuit no less than 30 days prior to the anticipated date of release of the defendant.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“If we ruled otherwise, an individual found incompetent to stand trial would have no appellate review of the evidence's sufficiency on this issue and would effectively be placed in permanent commitment.... Review by common law certiorari is necessary to ensure the trial court's proper application of those constitutional mandates to an incompetent accused.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Once a defendant is found incompetent to stand trial, his treatment is directed towards achieving competency to stand trial.”
